Behind The Lens
Location
I am a self taught photographer who likes to take nature photos. I took this photo at Alexander Ramsey Park in Redwood Falls Minnesota while on a data with my girlfriend who is an actual photographer.Time
I have seen many pictures of reflections on water and I wanted to try my hand at it. I took this photo on November 13th 2015 around 3:30pm after a hour and a half drive with my girlfriend so she could take pictures. While walking around the creek that was there I saw the great reflection that was being produced by the lush colors and calm waters where I snapped the picture.Lighting
I wanted the reflection to be awesome and filled with color, the best part about when I took the picture the sun was in the perfect spot to allow for the best lighting possible.Equipment
This was taken on my Nikon D3100 using a 18-55mm lens held in my hand with no flash just the light from the sun.Inspiration
Seeing all the other pictures with a great reflection from water made me want to try. And the lush colors from the beautiful fall day was the perfect chance for the reflection.Editing
On this picture I didn't do much editing, all I did was bring up the colors a touch but nothing else.In my camera bag
My bag is tiny! It holds my camera and lens attached to each other, a shutter release cable, along with a small tripod, a battery charger and a lens hood.Feedback
Some advice would be to find something you want to take pictures of and take your time! Also don't delete the pictures you take before you upload them!
